MAS scripts should be safe, but what about Windows iso you can download from MASSGRAVE website (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I recently asked if MAS was save to activate windows, it turns out it was as I hoped.

However, I've one last doubt: I downloaded the iso from MASSGRAVE (it-it_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_22h2_updated_may_2024_x64_dvd_49ddadb6.iso) and I installed that already.

Also, I logged in my accounts and used sensible passwords already, should I be worried about this? (I ask because some pirates said the ISO should have been downloaded from Microsoft website :/ ).

Please let me know your opinions

Unless you compare the checksum is a match from the ones from Microsoft.

Yeah. But unless MS has blocked you, I still don’t see the point getting it elsewhere.

There are legitimate versions of windows that are hard to get as a non enterprise consumer. Such as some of the IOT versions that have much longer security support.

Windows LTSC ftw.

May as well use M$’s bandwidth

They block VPN users.

Never had an issue getting an iso from them via Mullvad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

How recently. I tested with Mullvad and it gave me a notice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Huh, you're right. But a few weeks ago I was definitely able to download via Fido. Maybe try that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I wasn't using a VPN last time the download didn't work, but it might have something to do with me using NextDNS and blocking some of their tracking stuff that way.

I still can't understand how to download the ISO, all I can do is downloading a tool to create a ISO... I'd like to download the sama exact win10 Italian version in order to compare checksum, since I've done a lot of setup already on the laptop

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

One way to get there might be to hash the iso and then search that hash to see if you find someone referencing it for the official image.
